UFC veteran Mark Hunt and his Russian opponent will strike plenty of blows for the over 40s in mixed martial arts, when they headline a historic card in Moscow on the weekend. Sydneysider Hunt, who's fight catalogue bulges with bouts against other leading heavyweights, faces another world ranked adversary in Alexey Oleynik, in the first UFC promotion in Russia. Sydneysider Hunt, who is 44, is ranked eighth, three places above 41-year-old Oleynik. The Russian, who is nicknamed "The Boa Constrictor," is a submission specialist renowned for his ground game, while Hunt remains one of the most feared stand-up fighters in the organisation. "I think it's a classic striker versus grappler," said Hunt, whose bout will take place early Sunday (AEST)... It's the second last bout on New Zealand born Hunt's existing UFC contract. While not looking past Oleynik, Hunt is eyeing a spot in Australia's next UFC show on December 2 in Adelaide. "If I'm not injured (on the weekend) i'm going to to try and get on the (Adelaide) card," Hunt said. The show in South Australia will be headlined by rising Australian heavyweight Tai Tuivasa, who regards Hunt as his mentor. Australian Associated Press
